Next month, take a 'White Woman' from Universal's vault
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Nov 23, 2014
"White Woman" isn't Carole Lombard's greatest movie -- no, it's far from it -- but it nevertheless has a core of devoted fans. Some like its sheer campiness (a term no one associated with the film would have heard of in the latter part of 1933). Others enjoy the potboiler aspect of the movie, while read more
The Lady Vanishes: Review of a Fantastic Movie
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by The Wonderful World of Cinema on Nov 22, 2014
If I would have the chance to star in an Hitchcock’s film, I would certainly have loved to star in The Lady Vanishes. The Lady Vanishes was, as I said, directed by the great Alfred Hitchcock in 1938.
